The 2014 West Coast Conference women's basketball tournament was held March 6–11, 2014, at Orleans Arena in the Las Vegas Valley community of Paradise, Nevada.

With the addition of the University of the Pacific, bringing the WCC to 10 members, the conference adopted a more traditional tournament format. Under the new format, the top 6 seeds receive a bye out of the first round while the 7 seed plays the 10 seed and the 8 seed plays the 9 seed. The first round begins on a Thursday. BYUtv airs all games, except for the championship, and simulcasts them on the WCC's streaming video outlet, TheW.tv. The tournament championship airs on ESPNU.
The former second round is now the quarterfinal round. It takes place on Friday and has the 1 seed playing the winner of the 8/9 game and the 2 seed playing the winner of the 7/10 game. The quarterfinals also feature the 3 seed playing the 6 seed, and the 4 seed playing the 5 seed.
After two off-days, the semifinals take place on Monday with the winner of 1/8/9 playing the winner of 4/5 and the winner of 2/7/10 playing the winner of 3/6.
The championship takes place on Tuesday and features the semifinal winners. As in the recent past, the championship game continues to be broadcast on ESPNU.[4]
